Aims and Hypotheses
- Aim 1: Determine the prevalence and differentiating features of patients with versus without aPTT-anti-Xa discordance among patients receiving ECMO at CUIMC in 2024.
Hypothesis 1: Discordance is a relatively common, yet under appreciated phenomenon, and varies by geographic location of care and patient attributes including demographics, severity of illness, and underlying disease process.
- Aim 2: Determine the implications of discordance between aPTT and anti-Xa on hemorrhagic and thrombotic complications in a cohort of patients who received ECMO at CUIMC in 2024.
Hypothesis 2: Discordance between aPTT and anti-Xa indicates the presence of coagulation system pathophysiology which is a risk factor for development of hemorrhage and thrombosis.
Classic systemic anticoagulation goals, anti-Xa vs aPTT, at NYP:
- 0.3 - 0.7 vs 51 - 83
Typical anti-Xa goal vs aPTT goals among heparinized ECMO patients:
0.1 - 0.3 vs 35 - 50 (LOW GOAL)
0.2 - 0.5 vs 45 - 65 (CLASSIC GOAL)
Methods:
Only first ECMO run used.
ECMO duration: Dr. Connie Nguyen manually reviewed heparin-exposed patients’ EMRs in June 2025 to identify true ECMO time off, as initial data review identified some labs that were drawn while on heparin but after the patient was off ECMO. The variable “time_off” in the original data was obtained from ELSO sources. Per Dr. Nguyen’s review, if her evaluation of ECMO stop time was within 4 hours of ELSO-derived time_off, then the actual true time off was deemed as that known by ELSO. If there was a greater than 4 hour discrepancy, a new time_off_true value was recorded.
Lab cutoffs:
if aPTT <20.0 - made 0
if aPTT >180 - made 180
if anti-Xa <0.04 or <0.1 - made 0
if anti-Xa >2.00 - made 2.0
if data is duplicated at a specific timepoint (e.g. 2 lab samples, exact same result time but different values), then taking the mean of the two exact same-timed values
Hyperbilirubinemia can artifactually elevate anti-Xa (colorimetric assay). Jaundice threshold is 2 - 3 mg/dL total bilirubin. Upper limit of normal total bilirubin at NYP-CUIMC is 1.2 mg/dL.
Bilirubin is measured in separate tubes compared to aPTT, anti-Xa,
INR, and fibrinogen. As hyperbilirubinemia can impact assessment of
anti-Xa but also may not change rapidly from one moment to another, we
accounted for total bilirubin by computing the
nearest_bilirubin value within 24 hours of any aPTT. (aPTT
chosen as it was the most frequently measured coagulation lab).
COMPLICATIONS: all complications reviewed were documented during ECMO duration, with exception of clinically significant bleeding and thrombotic complications which were manually assessed by Connie and Phil as follows:
DVT/PE_1_time_and_date
DVT/PE_2_time_and_date
DVT/PE_3_time_and_date
DVT/PE_4_time_and_date
Ischemic_stroke_1_time_and_date
Ischemic_stroke_2_time_and_date
Ischemic_stroke_3_time_and_date
Acute_limb_ischemia_1_time_and_date
Acute_limb_ischemia_2_time_and_date
Acute_limb_ischemia_3_time_and_date
GI bleeding - present on CTA and confirmed via endoscopy
ICH - based on imaging findings

## 1 0.740Polynomial Fitting
This fits a second degree polynomial on aPTT and accounts for repeated measures per patient (i.e. multiple labs per individual patient) by including a random intercept for each patient. This is important as the repeated measures per patient are not independent - the labs are dependent on the baseline values (and the baseline anti-Xa between patients who have the same aPTT may not be the same, or vice versa).
95% prediction interval chosen to balance sensitivity and specificity.

Perhaps it would be worth retaining this patient in the model, as discordance could contribute to hemorrhage and/or thrombosis in separate instances.

Variables which would be important to adjust for based on opinion / intentional selection:
duration_to_lab(time_on -> lab_result_time)international_normalization_ratiofibrinogennearest_bilirubinweight- significant as identified with between-group testingheparin_infusion_dose_value_units_kg_hr
Variables which specifically were not incorporated into the model as they were not between-group significant or had other good reasons:
pump_flow4andpump_flow24- specifically not chosen as they were not significantly different between groups in descriptive analyses, despite potentially functioning as marker of baseline disease severity (higher flow, sicker). We do not know illness severity and underlying disease process in this retrospective cohort study.mode-> inclusion of this model caused model to possibly overfit AND our underlying premise is that discordance matters, regardless of why you are on ECMO or how it is cannulated

Thus, Firth penalized logistic regression used to compute odds ratios and p-values.
3. Survival Analyses
- Note that all patients retained in this model. The patient (MRN 1001491594) with multiple types of discordance is therefore included but will be analyzed by whatever happened first. Specifically, this patient’s first instance of discordance was as follows: “2024-08-20 04:09:00 aPTT < antiXa”, thus is included in the aPTT < antiXa survival analysis.

Note also that the 113 patients all start with concordant values. Some patients develop discordance later, and then they start 0 time recategorizes them as “0”. The time-varying curves are aligned by interval start times, not global time 0. So, among patients with aPTT < antiXa in the thrombus curve, n.start indicates that 10 patients are “at risk” at the earliest time for this group, based on days since ECMO cannulation. (Though their start time is based on development of discordance, plotted from interval start time, and in risk table based on days since ECMO cannulation).
Note also that this approach is only testing the impact of first discordance. Repeated episodes of discordance, or discordance severity, not being analyzed. Thus, direct comparison with logistic regression is challenging.

thrombotic and hemorrhagic events are common among ECMO patients
thrombotic events occurred frequently, despite heparin use in this sample
there is moderate correlation between aPTT and antiXa among heparinized ECMO patients
categorizing discordance based on aPTT range:anti-Xa range may not effectively recognize values which are relatively unusual (to each other) at CUIMC. The counts of patients who are discordant based on classic groupings based on usual CUIMC systemic anticoagulation goals are different (numerically higher) than those with relative comparison via polynomial model used in this approach. Our approach may better recognize truly unusual values.
initiation of ECMO induces a hypercoagulable state which is associated with thrombosis development
aPTT < antiXa is associated with increased risk of thrombosis compared to concordant and/or high aPTT > antiXa states (all patients with this state developed thrombosis in our study).
Likewise, aPTT < antiXa may be associated with a decreased risk of hemorrhage (non-significant)
underpowered for survival analysis
the relative aPTT:antiXa value is more important than absolute values. Classifying discordance by range alone (i.e. within wide goal ranges) may not appropriately recognize hyper- or hypocoagulable states.
Comments on discrepancy between logistic and survival analyses
Logistic regression treats discordance as fixed (ever vs never) or at first discordance. Cox regression treats it as time-varying, so:
If a patient is discordant late, their earlier follow-up counts as “non-exposed” in Cox.
Logistic regression collapses all follow-up into a single binary exposure.
Even with post-discordance events only, this leads to different denominators and risk attribution.
We are likely very underpowered given infrequent events and small discordant subgroups (n = 11 and n = 17) and a time-varying exposure.
